Stag Do | Racing Super SUP

Go Stand Up Paddle Boarding | Super SUP Surf Racing | £45pp

On your marks …get set …go! These are the last words you’ll hear before working every muscle in your body in a do or die frenetic SUP surf race.

It’s a two-horse SUP surf race between the stags or hens (up to 8 on each vessel) where the victors get a champagne podium finish and ultimate bragging rights over the losers.

How does it work?

On arrival at the Newquay Activity Centre you’ll be split into two groups, kitted out with a wetsuit, buoyancy aid, helmet and pro SUP surf paddle and left to muster up a winning team name. Once tribal associations have been made our experienced instructors will talk you through and have you practice a series of SUP surf techniques: launching, effective paddle strokes, SUP steering & control, and kneel paddling.

Once you’ve nailed the fundamentals each team will be given an opportunity to hone their sea going SUP surf skills on a tour of Newquay’s craggy Gazzle peninsula. To build up the adrenaline, competitive spirit and camaraderie each craft will then play a series of hilariously fun SUP games (Sumo SUP, King of the SUP and Dizzy stick).

Once the blood is flowing and competitive spirit high we’ll line you up for the ultimate challenge: the 200metre SUP surf sprint paddle to a buoy and back, where the victors walk away with a deserved bottle of bubbly and an enormous amount of pride. But beware, we’re in the land of pirates, so ocean skulduggery and underhand tactics are encouraged as you race toward the finish line using your paddles as pugil sticks and buoyancy aids as body armour. But remember, the super SUP can only continue once everyone is on board, making this activity a complete test of brawn, bravery and brains. May only the best stags or hens win!

Listed as number one on Tripadvisor for Super SUP surf activities, and multiple winner of the Cornish tourism awards, we’re confident that this will not disappoint, in fact we see it as the most popular stag and hen party activity!
